Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable.
Good luck!
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
David, Aged 19
I am not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it’s really not bad at all. Don’t worry.
21. What can we infer from Sharon about high school?
A. Teachers are quite strict.
B. Students often stay up at night.
C. Teachers provide little care for students.
D. Students should make good use of their time.
22. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?

标题是文章中心思想的精炼表达，多为词组或短语，涵盖性强。做这类题目时，要在阅读全文的基础上，以文章话题为核心，通过比较选项的概括性或 覆盖面，得出正确的标题。正确标题的归纳范围要恰如其分，避免过于具体或断章取义。错误的干扰往往是局部信息，以事实细节替代概括大意。本文第4小题，全文讲了相同的事情父亲和儿子不同的反应，表现的是父亲对儿子的爱。 故选B。
An interesting study posted on Facebook recently shows how men and women develop new interests as they mature(成熟).
While women tend to take exercise seriously from the age of 34, men will wait until their 45th birthdays before working hard to get in shape.
The average woman spends more time talking about sports, politics, career and money as she gets older.
Women’s interest in books reaches its peak(顶峰) at the age of 22, while that of men does so when they are in their 50s.
Men start to change their focus from the workplace to other things after age 30, while women do not do so until eight years later. Both, however, care most about fashion at age 16.
The research used anonymous(匿名的) data donated by thousands of Facebook users, recording the statuses, ‘likes’ and ‘interests’ they had posted on their profiles.
It found the average woman talks about television most at 44, while men peak much younger, at age 31.
Men are also most likely to see a film in a cinema at age 31, while women go out to see films most when they are only 19.
Men are most interested in travel at 29, women at 27, while women talk most about food and drink at 35, and men at 38.
And if you are middle aged, a safe topic for anyone is the weather, which is a key interest for many as they reach 60.
Stephen Wolfram, the British scientist who carried out the research, says, “It’s almost shocking how much this tells us about the changes of people’s typical interests.
“People talk less about video games as they get older, and more about politics.”
28. When do women love books best?
A. At the age of 22. B. At the age of 50. C. At the age of 30. D. At the age of 15.
29. Men tend to ______ once they are 45.
A. gain more and more weight B. be less interested in their jobs
C. do more exercise D. pay more attention to their appearance
30. What are men and women both interested in when they are 16?
A. Getting in shape. B. Going to the cinema. C. Popular style of clothing. D. Food and drink.
31. What does Stephen Wolfram think about the result of the research?
A. People’s interests are different from each other.
B. People’s interests change greatly with age.
C. It is normal for people to change their interests.
D. It is not good for people to change their interests.

细节题是针对原文某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题。干扰项也是以文章中的某个细节设题，若不仔细辨别，很容易把它当成正确选项。无论是细节题中的干扰项还是推理题中的干扰项，都有很多相似的特指。干扰项有以下特征：
3、无中生有。即选项内容是根据主观想象或推测得出的结论，而文中并未涉及。
4、偷换概念。把原来做该事的“张三”换成“李四”，所述细节确实与原文一致，一不小心就会误选。
5、文不对题。这类题最不容易辨别，选项中的描述与原文完全一致，确属原文中的一个细节，这时要回到题干，看该选项是否能回答题干所提的问题。
When do women love books best?询问女性什么时候最喜欢阅读？根据文章第四段第四段Women’s interest in books reaches its peak(顶峰) at the age of 22可知女性在22岁时是最喜欢读书的。另外三项均属于干扰项，与该题没有任何关系。
虽然该题考查了简单的推理，但是和文章细节仍然有关系，What are men and women both interested in when they are 16?在16岁时，男性和女性对什么都很感兴趣？定位第五段最后一句Both, however, care most about fashion at age 16.可知16岁的女性和男性都对时尚感兴趣。C项属于时尚范围，其余三项均属于干扰项，属于无中生有的干扰项设置。

Watson entered Mr. Smith’s office. The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.
“Watson,” said Mr. Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’m sorry, —but you’ll have to go.” “But, sir — if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”
“What’s that!” said the boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.”
“I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star athlete and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ there.”
The boss sat perfectly still for a long time — a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.”
Watson got out, with surprise on his face. Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School —written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:
I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple (跛脚的人). But don’t worry about me, Dad, They’ve got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ (冠军) and just tops in chemistry.
The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big — that he won’t even know about.
Your son,
Herbie

When I was a little girl, my mom would say, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.” ___36___Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our successes and our joys, comfort us in our hard moments, and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. I’ve always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, “____37____”.
To be a good friend or partner, it’s important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jump to conclusions or get defensive.____38____ When they hear their words repeated back to them, it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly what they meant to say.
___39___ You know the old golden rule, “Care for others the way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure. Encouragement and confidence are the gifts that can help change a person’s life.
Take care, though, with whom you choose to have close relationship, for they can have a great effect on yourself – respect and life path. As someone once told me “____40____ They will either take you up or down.”
A. I am afraid so.
B. It is quite true
C. Friendship is the most important factor.
D. Sometimes it is useful to be their mirror.
E. A friend is a present which you give yourself.
F. The attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on a lift.
G. Patience, sympathy and understanding are also important qualities.

Hi, Sharon,
This is Li Xia. I’m writing to tell you that I am willing to do how I can to help you learn Mandarin (普通话). I win the first prize in a nationwide Chinese Speech Contest last term. However, you can depend on it that I will be up to this job.
Besides, it is necessary for you to practice it as much as possibly. Here are two tips for you. Firstly, you, d better to buy or download some listening materials. Secondly, we can make friends with classmates from China and frequent communication is of great important. Though having learned English for many years, I have difficulty in American cultures. I would appreciate if you could give me some advice on how to understand them better. I expect there to being a chance to learn from you.
知识点：短文改错
win改成won 本句中的时间状语是一个过去的时间last term,用一般过去时。
However改成Therefore/Thus 本句和前面一句是承接关系而不是转折关系。
possibly改成possible 在as much as possible中，其实是省略了it is，即as much as it is possible, 这里possible在比较状语从句中是作表语的。
删掉better后面的to 固定短语had better的后面接动词原形，而不是带to的动词不定式。
we改成you 这里是Li Xia对Sharon的建议，因此主语应该是第二人称。
important改成importance 固定短语be of great importance在意思上等同于be very important都是“对……很重要”的意思。
appreciate ^ if to 动词appreciate是“感激，欣赏”的意思，appreciate后面接宾语从句的时候往往要用it作为形式宾语，构成“appreciate it +”从句的结构。
being改成be 动词except to do something的意思是“期望做某事”。
